"Joie de vivre " is more than a catch phrase or a marketing tool. Joie de vivre literally means the joy of living, or having a zest for life. It is an expression that means a cheerful enjoyment of life, an exultation of spirit, but for West Nipissing residents it is also a philosophy of life.

It is our message to the world:

Experience, explore and enjoy all that West Nipissing has to offer. Experience the four season adventures in the great outdoors, ancient waterways and towering forests. Explore the quaint villages that dot the diverse northern landscape. Enjoy the unique shops, great accommodations, festivals and especially the warm hospitality. West Nipissing will treat you like family.
